TV died :/

@CactuarJoe Can we even get non-smart TVs anymore? I am babying my 2010 plasma screen and I've got another flatscreen out in the garage that my mom didn't want anymore that just needs some connectors cleaned (according to the internet). I guess now technically I'm hoarding non-smart TVs?
@arisummerland Man I'm lookin' and I am seeing *nothing* but Smart TVs
This sucks. -
@CactuarJoe Damn bruh did you crack open a cursed fortune cookie? Cross any black cats lately? Or break a mirror?
@seekingfreedom OR SOME DAMN THING YEAH
-
@CactuarJoe power supply replacement time
@rifter Alas, I am nowhere near that skilled
Look at me, I'm on Mastodon and I don't even run Linux
-
Toilet clogged now. I love this day.
Also do they sell models UNDER 50 inches? God damn people I'm sitting three feet from my TV, I do not need a TV that big

@CactuarJoe Do you have a thrift shop available? They have decent slightly-old TVs sometimes.

@CactuarJoe What resolution are you looking for? Costco has a 43" 4k Hisense for $200, and a 32" 1080p for $110.
Unfortunately, both are "smart" and Costco doesn't seem to sell any that aren't. There are commercial panels that are -not- smart., but those are significantly more expensive. Amazon has a 43" 4k Samsung but it's $450.

@trixter It's alright, I managed to find a decent sub-$200 TV new. Thank god. ^^

@wheeljack Weird how the not-smart is more expensive
But I found a passable 32" LG for $170, easy and done. -

Had a frustrating moment where I thought this TV's latency was *atrociously bad* and I was gonna have to return it, until I noticed the power saving options were all turned on >_>
There's always eight layers of bullshit on these smart TVs, huh?

Suppose I should just be grateful it didn't have motion smoothing turned on by default >_>
